Jerry Sadowitz presents his highly acclaimed magic show and reveals why he is regarded as one of the best sleight-of-hands artist on the planet ' a wonderfully funny comic, the foul-mouthed fount of Glaswegian ad libs. He is also a wizard with a pack of cards....... in any rational world, Sadowitz would be a star.' The Guardian 'Live entertainment really doesn't come any better than this....Every now and then you see a performer at a time and place in their career where you feel some kind of recognition is due, and Jerry Sadowitz's time and place surely is right now.' Glasgow Herald 'Simply the funniest and most brilliant card sharp you have ever seen.' Daily Mail |

We present the Severn Jazzmen's annual Spring concert which is always a sell-out, so book early! The band members have been honing their skills at Bristol's Old Duke for 37 years, but have graced many other exquisite venues. Dave Millman still recalls playing at Claridges, and then at a house of ill-repute in Germany (by accident!) Finally a welcome to new drummer Mark Etherington - also a demon on the trombone. |

Music and songs from two of England's finest singer-songwriters. This duo is something special! The vocal blend is all honey and silk and the songs melodic and evocative of all life's ups and downs and in-betweens. These guys have a wealth of experience to draw on and manage to make the combination of guitar and piano sound like a band! Too good to miss. |

Set in 1997 Cork, Disco Pigs is the story of Pig and Runt, as Darren and Sinead have nick named each other. Inseparable since they were born seconds apart in the same hospital. They are as one, needing no one else, they reign over their own world. They create their own language (part invention part baby talk) and apply their own rules as they carve their way through Cork in their reckless pursuit of pleasure. But as the violence escalates their world becomes increasingly fragile, insular and dangerous. On the eve of their 17th birthday the fabric of their world begins to disintegrate. Runt has begun to see that there might be more to life, but Pig's unpredictable nature, unable to contemplate the loss of Runt begins to spiral out of control in a trail of violence and destruction. The inseparable are about to separate. |

Verbal slapstick, visual wisecracks and vertiginous melodrama combine in this very funny staging of the unstageable. “Entertainingly absurd.” The Scotsman |
